Starting off by testing the GtkComboBox widget performance, Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha
3 lost by a noticeable margin as it took longer for the Karmic Koala to complete
the test runs. It took 59 seconds under Ubuntu 9.04, but 69 seconds for Ubuntu
9.10.

In our third GtkPerf test, Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 3 with its Intel UXA stack continued
to lose. With the GtkDrawingArea Pixbufs performance, Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 3 was
42% slower than Ubuntu 9.04, which was already running much slower and less stable
than Ubuntu 8.10.
